Guarantees for segregated funds typically have bounded payoff. For
these types of guarantees, the variation of the function being
integrated is usually finite so that the error in the integral is
bounded by the Star Discrepancy times the variation of the
function. This follows from the Koksma
and Koksma-Hlawka inequalities.

Conditional Tail Expectation for segregated fund guarantees
usually involves a bounded payoff, similar to a put option. The
variation is therefore often finite. This means the inequality
bounds for any Monte Carlo or Quasi Random Monte Carlo method
apply. This in turn means reducing the error bound means lowering
the discrepancy of the points used to perform the integral.
